Visibility & Space

Exceptional visibility is achieved through a large, bonded, single-piece, wrap-around windshield.

The smaller engine tunnel is lower & more contoured for increased occupant space, particularly up front for the driver & officer.

The forward roof design offers a cathedral ceiling feel with increased frontal visibility & more configurable space.

Ergonomics

Exterior door handles are functionally designed for a firefighter's gloved hand.

The steps are lower to the ground & offset to function like a stair step, making it easier for firefighters to enter & exit the cab.

The console & metal overhead switch panel are ergonomically designed for maximum convenience & comfort, keeping all of the gauges & switches within easy reach of the driver.

Serviceability

Easy access to the defroster & wiper motors through removable officer-side panels.

Power distribution relocation provides more interior space & fewer harnesses ion the frame & up through the cab for easier servicing.

Built-in wire raceways throughout the cab reduce the chance of wire chafing & make it easier to service or add cab harnesses & wiring.

Maneuverability

Maximum 50-degree cramp angle & 15-degree angle of approach for improved maneuverability in those tight areas & challenging situations.
